Doesn't it just make your day when you discover something B E AUTIFUL that you had no idea existed?
Maybe I'm the only one who has never heard of a Watermemlon Radish but, WOW ...what a surprise!

They are white round radishes with a long pinkish root and, when sliced thin, can make a stunning presentation.

Please don't laugh at me if I'm the only one who has never had the visual pleasure to experience these .
I can imagine them in a salad, sliced crescent-like first in a circle and then in half, with crescent shaped slices of avocado, cucumber, a purple onion
...how colorfully refreshing for a light summer salad!

i grew those a few years ago. while they were pretty and just as easy to grow as other round radishes, i found the ones i grew to be fairly bland. not bad; more worth the effort for presentation than for flavour. it might just have been my soil, though.

I was wondering what they would taste like so thanks for that insight, buckytom. I might prefer the bland flavor over the better known red radish since that one has a strong hot peppery flavor...i mean, i like it but a little goes a long way. So maybe like jicama but less sweet?

I like subtle flavors and I'll bet it's good with the chickpea salad.
